People use names to infer meaning about the objects to which those names refer. Objects whose names include vowels produced toward the front of the mouth (Siri), relative to those with vowels produced toward the back of the mouth (Google), are expected to have certain physical features (e.g., smallness, sharpness, and quickness). Do these expectations map onto social experience? The present investigation examines this question through the lens of social closeness. Participants simulating an interaction with another person whose name included a front (versus a back) vowel sound saw that person as more socially connected to themselves (Study 1), which could facilitate the interaction (better tips for servers, Study 2) or undermine it (exacerbate negative emotionality, Study 3). Theoretical and practical implications note how the sounds in names not only create expectations but also sow the seeds for self-fulfilling prophecies to be borne out in experience.

从名声中提取社会经验

人们使用名称来推断有关这些名称所指对象的含义。相对于那些具有向嘴后部产生元音的对象(Google),其名称包括朝着嘴前部产生的元音(Siri)的对象应具有某些物理特征(例如,小巧,清晰和快速)。这些期望会映射到社交经验上吗?本研究通过社会亲密性的角度考察了这个问题。参与者模拟了与另一个人的交互,该人的名字包括一个前元音(相对于一个后背),则认为该人与自己的社交联系更加紧密(研究1),这可以促进交互(对服务器更好的提示,研究2)或破坏它。 (加剧负面情绪,研究3)。
